How to Get from Dubrovnik to Hvar

There are so many visitors who have asked me how to get from Dubrovnik to Hvar or the other way around. In some periods of the year it’s not even possible as there are no ferries connecting these two top Croatia destinations.

From my experience I know for sure when travelers are inquiring the best way to get to Hvar, they refer to Hvar town and not on Hvar island. To make things clearer here is the map of this route to get an idea how far is Hvar from Dubrovnik.

The situation changes each summer season (roughly from May to October). This year there are two summer catamarans that connect Dubrovnik and Hvar. There is no car ferry on this route any more.
